How stable are these [...] I installed shared libraries on my NetBSD development box 9 days ago. Other than a stupid bug in lpd (which was in lpd, not the shared libraries), I have had absolutely *no* problems with them. Currently the implementation does not deal with shared C++ libraries, but the author, Paul Kranenburg, is working on that. and is it worth getting them now or waiting til they appear in a distribution? Depends on how much of a concern disk space is to you. I can tell you that on my tiny box the disk savings are quite noticable. (No numbers handy, though.)
